Site hacked

My sincere apologies to anyone who visited the site tonight, and was met with an offensive picture. Thanks very much to those who sent me emails to alert me to the situation.

Indeed, the site was hacked, and I'm trying to figure out what was the security breach which allowed the hack.

To whomever accomplished the hack, well, um, geez, we're all impressed, but don't you have anything better to do with your time?
